Beale went into video game development, which led to him writing science fiction, and social commentary with a focus on issues of religion, race, and gender. He became active in the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, from which he was expelled, and was a central figure in the "Rabid Puppies" controversy involving the Hugo Awards for science fiction. He is active in publishing being a founding member of Castalia House.
Early life and music career
Beale grew up in Minnesota, the son of Rebecca and Robert Beale.[1] He states on his blog that he is of English, Irish, Mexican, and Native American descent.[8] He graduated from Bucknell University in 1990.[9]
Beale was a member of the band Psykosonik between 1992 and 1994.[10][11]
Video game development
Beale and Andrew Lunstad founded the video game company Fenris Wolf in 1993. The company was developing two games – Rebel Moon Revolution and Traveler for the Sega Dreamcast – when it closed in 1999 after a legal dispute with its retail publisher GT Interactive Software.[12] In 1999, under the name Eternal Warriors, Beale and Lunstad released The War in Heaven, a Biblical video game published by Valusoft and distributed by GT Interactive.[13]
Beale created the WarMouse – known as the OpenOffice Mouse until Sun Microsystems objected on trademark grounds[14] – a computer mouse with 18 buttons, a scroll wheel, a thumb-operated joystick, and 512k of memory.[15] Beale was an early supporter of Gamergate and hosted the GGinParis meetup in July 2015 with Milo Yiannopoulos and Mike Cernovich.[16]
Writing
Beale first began writing under the name Vox Day – a homophone for the final phrase of the Latin expression Vox Populi, Vox Dei[17] – for a weekly video game review column in the St. Paul Pioneer Press,[18] and later continued to use the pen name for a weekly WorldNetDaily opinion column. In 2000, Beale published his first solo novel, The War in Heaven, the first in a series of fantasy novels with a religious theme titled The Eternal Warriors. The novel investigates themes "about good versus evil among angels, fallen and otherwise".[19]
Beale served as a member of the Nebula Award Novel Jury in 2004.[20]
In 2008, Beale published The Irrational Atheist: Dissecting the Unholy Trinity of Dawkins, Harris, and Hitchens,[9] a book devoted to criticizing the arguments presented in various books by atheist authors Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, Daniel Dennett, and Michel Onfray.[21] The book was named a 2007 Christmas recommendation by John Derbyshire in the conservative magazine National Review Online.[22]
Publishing
In early 2014, Beale founded Castalia House publishing in Kouvola, Finland. He is lead editor and has published the work of such writers as John C. Wright, Jerry Pournelle, Tom Kratman, Eric S. Raymond, Martin van Creveld, Rolf Nelson, and William S. Lind.[23][24][25]
In 2016, Castalia House works had two wins at the Dragon Awards:[26][27][28]
- Best Science Fiction Novel: Somewhither, by John C. Wright
- Best Apocalyptic Novel: Ctrl-Alt-Revolt! by Nick Cole
In 2017, Beale launched Infogalactic, an English-language wiki encyclopedia.[29] The site was a fork of the contents of English Wikipedia which could be gradually edited to remove the influence of what Beale described as "the left-wing thought police who administer [Wikipedia]".[6][30] It has been described by Wired and the Washington Post as a version of Wikipedia targeted to alt-right readers.[6][31]
In September 2018, Beale announced the founding of Comicsgate Comics (later renamed to Arkhaven Comics), a "100% SJW-free" comic book publishing imprint; this drew backlash from Ethan Van Sciver and other Comicsgate activists, who objected to being associated with white supremacists and to the name being commercialized.[5] He also runs YouTube channels which, according to The Daily Dot, have jointly more than 49500 subscribers.[32]
Controversies
Expulsion from the SFWA
In 2013, Beale ran unsuccessfully against Steven Gould to succeed John Scalzi as president of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA). African American writer N. K. Jemisin, during her delivery of the Guest of Honour speech at 2013 Continuum in Australia, stated that 10% of the SFWA membership voted for Beale in his bid for the SFWA presidential position and called him "a self-described misogynist, racist, anti-Semite, and a few other flavors of asshole".[33] Beale responded by calling Jemisin an "ignorant half-savage".[33] In the resulting interactions, Beale also called writer and editor Teresa Nielsen Hayden a "fat frog".[34]
Beale tweeted a link to his comments about Jemisin on the SFWA's official @SFWAAuthors Twitter feed. The SFWA Board subsequently voted to expel him from the organization.[34] In 2015, The Wall Street Journal described Beale as "the most despised man in science fiction".[35]
Rabid Puppies and Hugo Awards Controversy
2015 Rabid Puppies Campaign
Based on Larry Correia's 2014 "Sad Puppies" ballot-manipulation campaign, in 2015 Beale implemented a slate of candidates for the Hugo Awards called "Rabid Puppies", announcing a slate of candidates one day after the announcement of the Sad Puppies recommendation, instructing his followers to nominate the slate "precisely as they are."[36] The Rabid Puppies slate successfully placed 58 of its 67 recommended nominees on the ballot. Two of the nominations were for Beale himself, and eleven were for works published by his small Finnish publisher Castalia House,[37] where Beale acts as lead editor.[36] Of those other nominees, two authors, an editor, and a fanzine subsequently withdrew their own nominations; three of these four explicitly cited the wish to dissociate themselves from Beale as being among their reasons for doing so.[38][39][40] Withdrawals from the Best Novel category allowed space for Liu Cixin's The Three-Body Problem to move into a finalist position,[41][42] and it went on to win the Best Novel Award.[43] Although the winning novel was one of the few nominees not on the Rabid Puppies slate, some sources credited the win to Beale's backing of the novel.[44]
Beale was nominated as a finalist in the categories Best Editor, Long Form and Best Editor, Short Form. When asked why he included himself in the nomination, and what it meant that the voters preferred that no one win the award rather than give one to either Beale or a Beale-endorsed entry, Beale stated, "I wanted to leave a big smoking hole where the Hugo Awards were. All this has ever been is a giant Fuck You—one massive gesture of contempt."[45]
2016 Rabid Puppies Campaign
In 2016, Beale continued the Rabid Puppies campaign, posting a slate of finalists for the Hugo Award, including all finalists in the Best Short Story category.[46] Beale included himself on the slate of candidates, and was nominated in the category Best Editor, Long Form, the Castalia House Blog edited by Jeffro Johnson in the category Best Fanzine, and his own non-fiction release SJWs Always Lie: Taking Down the Thought Police by Vox Day, published by Castalia House, in the category Best Related Work.
Other Rabid Puppy recommendations which were Hugo Award finalists included Chuck Tingle's short story "Space Raptor Butt Invasion" and Hao Jingfang's "Folding Beijing," which won in the Best Novelette category.[47] All nominated works associated with Castalia House ranked below No Award.[48]
Hugo Award nominations
Beale has been a finalist six times for a Hugo Award, beginning in 2014 (as a result of Larry Correia's "Sad Puppies" campaign), when his novelette "Opera Vita Aeterna" was a finalist for the best novelette.[49][50] The Hugo voters ranked "Opera" sixth out of five nominees, behind No Award.[51][52][53] In the 2015 Hugos, it was alleged that his nomination may have been the result of "block voting by special interest groups."[54]
The list of his nominations is:
- 2014 nominee for Hugo Award for Best Novelette[55][56]
- 2015 nominee for Hugo Award for Best Editor Short Form[57][58]
- 2015 nominee for Hugo Award for Best Editor Long Form[57][58]
- 2016 nominee for Hugo Award for Best Editor Long Form[59][60]
- 2016 nominee for Hugo Award for Best Related Work[59][60]
- 2017 nominee for Hugo Award for Best Editor Long Form[50]
In all cases, his nominations have been ranked below "No Award" in the final vote.[51][61][48]
Personal life
Beale reportedly has several children.[62] As of 2015, he lived in Northern Italy.[63]
Political views
Beale describes himself as a Christian nationalist.[64] He has been described as an alt-right personality by Wired,[6] and a leader of the alt-right by Business Insider.[65] Writing for Publishers Weekly, Kimberly Winston described Beale as a "fundamentalist Southern Baptist",[19] but other journalists have made more pointed characterizations, such as Mike VanHelder's assertion in Popular Science that Beale's views are "white supremacist".[3]
White supremacy
Day has been supportive of the white supremacist Fourteen Words slogan,[66] promoting it in his Sixteen points of the Alt-Right,[67][68] which placed the sentence "we must secure the existence of white people and a future for white children" as the fourteenth point.[69]
Concerning the notion of white supremacy, Day has said, "white supremacy simply isn't true. Whites are not superior, but whites are the only tribe willing and able to maintain Western civilization because they are the only tribe that truly values it. The answer for those who support Western civilization, regardless of sex, color, or religion, is to embrace white tribalism, white separatism, and especially white Christian masculine rule."[70]
Women's suffrage
The New Republic reported that Day "has written that women should be deprived of the vote",[71] an interpretation of comments in Beale's article "Why Women's Rights are Wrong." In Beale's post "In which we are called out", he argued that "women's suffrage has been a complete and unmitigated disaster across the West and it is doubtful that any society can survive it for long."[72] On the other hand, Day later said in 2016: "And that is why I am an advocate of direct democracy with full female suffrage: it is both possible as well as an improvement on a system that is clearly incompatible with societal survival and Western civilization."[73]
